What actually happens when the body dies—and why don’t more of us know? In this workshop, death midwife and artist Narinder Bazen offers a clear, grounded exploration of the body’s dying process, drawing on anatomy, poetry, and lived experience at the bedside. This isn’t just about facts—it’s about reclaiming our right to understand the intelligent design of the dying body. In a culture that hides death behind hospital curtains and euphemisms, learning how the body dies is an act of collective re-membering. When we know what to expect, we show up differently—for ourselves, our loved ones, and our communities. And that shift reverberates far beyond the deathbed.

She is the founder of the Nine Keys Death Midwifery Apprenticeship, a nine-month program that has supported over 100 practitioners in building meaningful, artful, and subversive deathcare practices. With a background in intuitive guidance and a deep commitment to collective healing, Narinder approaches death work as both a spiritual calling and a site of cultural transformation. She sees death midwifery as a form of culture midwifery—an act of resistance in a death-phobic society, and a call to reclaim humanity through living in death awareness.
